My Daughter is Applying for a Job

My daughter who graduated her college education last June 13, is now preparing her resume, application letters, and all other requirements for a job. She is planning to follow my footstep as a banker. So, she is now asking for the branch manager's names for each bank in our town for her application letters. But I am hesitant that she will work as a bank employee for I know it is not an easy job as what she thought. I tried to convince her to consider other jobs like being a flight stewardess in an international airlines. Well, flight stewardess is one of my dream jobs. Whatever work she is going into, I am just here to support her all the way. What's your dream job when you were young? Photo is my eldest daughter when she was 14 years old.

Just like you, my husband likes my son to apply to the bank he worked for 30 years! But he must take a Civil Service Exam first.Right now he is already employed in a local private company but he wanted another job. Good luck to your daughter. Tell her it is good to apply at Landbank.

Yes, she is planning to take the Civil Service exam this October. Oh so your husband is in Landbank. That's good. Well, I was from Metrobank and my daughter also wants to apply there. Actually, she is preparing application letters to all banks in our locality.

@Macarrosel Metrobank is a nice bank too; but I know Landbank which is a government bank gives a lot of benefits to employees; they have their own charter too. Yes, my husband was a former banker too!

Oh, that's nice. I never dream of a owning a company for I know I can't afford to have one. But when I was a banker, I was thinking if I have my own bank so that I am the boss. Hahaha.

When I was in my first grade, I wanted to become a teacher. But after a day, I changed my mind and told my mother it's not easy, so instead, I wanted to become a market vendor... hihihi

Why don't your daughter try applying as FA for PAL. I think they are hiring because they were having a one-day interview in a local university in our place. Your daughter is beautiful and definitely that is one big plus as an FA.

That's good to know. I told my daughter to search for scheduled interviews for any airlines here. May I know when and where is the interview? Thanks a lot @sunrisefan

@Macarrosel I forgot the date of the interview but it's done in a university in our city though it's not only for the graduates of the said university. I'm sure your daughter can access PAL's website and search for other interview opportunites of the said airline at a venue near your place.

People are so rude nowadays that I'd be hesitant to be a flight stewardess. I might be tempted to slap someone! My dream job was a news anchor.But that changed as I got older.

Yes, you're right. Some people are taking advantage to flight attendants. Wow? Being a news anchor is one of my dreams too.

I got a long list of dream jobs when I was young. None of which happened in real life.

I wish her all the best. When I was young, I wanted to do a whole bunch of different things. Main one was I wanted to be a scientist but I wanted to be doing research out in the natural world. That is tough to get into.

That's what we should do - support them in whatever they choose to do - we can't expect them to live our dreams

Oh, that's great to know. I believe some of us here are bankers too. Well. I was teaching college first before I was employed in the bank. You're right, we can never tell.

Your daughter is so beautiful! I'm sure she will make the career choice that she wants. I wanted to be a teacher, a doctor, then a teacher. I taught. It was a great career for me.

In case your daughter still wants to work in the bank, I saw a post from a BPI officer on FB that the bank is hiring.
